That's a possible facet of Bahamut's background that I can get behind because I was picked on a lot as a kid and mostly forced to be alone, so I would have these elaborate fantasies as a kid that I had the most insane superpowers - it was a way for my kid brain to feel less helpless.<br /><br />BTW, getting the Kimahri cutscenes is really hard, but definitely the most rewarding, especially one of the last ones when he finally proclaims Tidus as "Kimahri's friend." Aaaahhhhh, it makes my eyes watery.Surainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498775686210478744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532666560771740367.post-87962020841021102532014-09-19T02:37:12.839-04:002014-09-19T02:37:12.839-04:00That's a good point!

It may have been dolphins. But they were definitely in space. I understand the child fayth having a dragon aeon, but laughingpineapple pointed out to me that he really does not resemble his fayth statue, what with its rugged manly arms and all. So I'm not sure what to make of that. The rest of the fayth have stock character models so you can explain away discrepancies between them and their statues by assuming the human aspects of the statues are what they're <i>supposed</i> to look like (kind of like the differences between low-poly and FMV versions of the main characters, we just assume the high res ones are their "canon" appearance), but Bahamut has a unique character model, so why does his statue look so different? It's a mystery for the ages.<br /><br />The floor graffiti is driving me crazy. I wonder if the script is an allusion to a previous game, or an earlier version of Spiran that was never used? It clearly says something; the first three lines repeat and then the last two appear to be part of a separate sentence. I'm ready to get out a book I have on cryptograms and codebreaking and have a go at it that way. (Hopefully it translates to English!)<br /><br />I like the idea of Kelk and/or Seymour trying to arrange the Via Purifico ordeal for their private reasons. Do we ever find out what his sphere of influence is? Seymour is the church, Kinoc is the military, and Kelk seems to preside over the judicial branch (although Mika makes the overriding decisions, since he pretty much just takes the trial out of his hands and the end there) so it's possible that he'd be able to finagle something in carrying out their execution.<br /><br />Hahahaha I didn't even think about how damp and moldy it must be inside the temple with all those waterfalls. (It did occur to me that they must be artificial and machina-powered though). I bet it's all musty and cold inside. No wonder Bahamut's fayth spends so much time wandering around elsewhere.<br /><br />And ugh yes that tiny exchange between Rikku and Lulu always hits me square in the heart. All this time Rikku has looked up to Lulu and trusted her to be confident, in control, and an exemplary guardian. She's always been able to protect Yuna, and now she can't, and when Rikku sees that there's nothing even she can do, it's really upsetting. (And Lulu is the only one who looks away.)<br /><br />I also really love how the friendship between Tidus and Kimahri develops over time. One of these days I'm going to go for maximum Kimahri Friendship Points to get all the cutscenes with him, just for fun.<br />Mintywolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03450557499971082731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532666560771740367.post-24490750390299844572014-09-19T01:16:41.995-04:002014-09-19T01:16:41.995-04:00"It's okay if BEVELLE does it." Coug..."It's okay if BEVELLE does it." Cough. Yes. I actually had missed this particular example of Yevonite hypocrisy.<br /><br />Oh you headcanon everything. I never really thought about Evrae because, y'know, medieval fantasy Japan should definitely have imperial dragons defending places of power. But you provide some actual reasons, and I like the idea of Evrae dating back to the machina war. <br /><br />Oh dear yes Seymour is a bit phantom-like. And yes, this marriage scene actually is awesome because the problematic nature is acknowledged within the story, and also Yuna has some agency here that's trope-breaking. (I mean, the forced-bride doesn't usually agree to go through with a marriage because she's planning to send the groom, although I expect there are a few bride-tries-to-kill-groom precedents somewhere back there). <br /><br />"And for all we know, the ribbon is protecting him with status ailments." Ah, Final Fantasy physics.<br /><br />YOUR SCREENCAP MOJO IS STRONG.<br /><br />*waves hands at my rare Crack Pairing sighting no really crack aside I love it when Kimahri and Lulu team up* <br /><br />"dog hanging out of car window" yes.<br /><br />"from her inventory of course"<br /><br />The next time I accuse Auron of having a sword stuck up his ass, I will be sure to call it "inventory."<br /><br />Yes, the irony is that Yuna might actually have pulled it off. <br /><br />Rikku's little DO SOMETHING LULU look and Lulu looking stoic and sick always punches me as much as Yuna; there isn't enough time to establish all the relationships between them but it's nailed here. <br /><br />I note that Rikku is doing the DogeFace in solidarity there.<br /><br /><br />"Second of three miracles" ahaha. Yes. <br /><br />I love the decorative waterfalls and OMFG can you imagine the problems with mold in that building.<br /><br /><br />NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.<br />Ahem.<br /><br />Dangit you catch all the details. "Kimahri, who used to shove Tidus away when he got too close to the door, is willing to break that taboo by helping him lift it." OF COURSE. I miss little parallels like that, even now.<br /><br />HI CREEPY KID<br /><br />I like to think of Bahamut as a gifted and precocious child, but also the dragon is something of a fantasy like those that children draw on their trapper keepers. I think I just dated myself. <br /><br />S.S. Tuna yep. <br /><br />Ms. Exposition has a special lawyer card and OMFG can you imagine Lulu in Ace Attorney. <br /><br />Yours is the clearest screencap I've ever seen of that damned floor, and I have tried and tried AND TRIED. No clue.<br /><br />I like the headcanon I ran into in some story or other that Maester Kelk had second thoughts about the rigged trial, and somehow arranged the party to be split between swimmers and landlubbers, complete with their weapons. He, at least, would want their Via Purifico trial to be fair. But quite possibly it was Seymour making sure Yuna would be delivered to him? I dunno how many chess moves ahead he can see.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532666560771740367.post-47767906913514623602014-09-18T17:06:23.208-04:002014-09-18T17:06:23.208-04:00The line "You can stuff your taboos!"

It feels like he's come full circle, from defying taboos out of cluelessness at the beginning of the game, to defying them to save someone he cares about.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00248378672544768679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532666560771740367.post-12168746538598505552014-09-17T01:05:08.079-04:002014-09-17T01:05:08.079-04:00Heeee I had a long tangent written about the Phant...Heeee I had a long tangent written about the Phantom of the Opera parallels but I decided the chances of anyone being familiar enough with it to know what I was talking about were pretty slim so I ended up cutting most of it. There are shades of the Don Juan Triumphant premiere in this scene too, with the elaborate staging of Seymour's "play," as it was described when he proposed to her, and Yuna intentionally putting herself in harm's way as part of a secret plot to trap him. (Which then backfires on her.)<br /><br />I've been poking at an AU crossover for a while too but never really figured out how to go about it. There's actually a pretty complete cast, with Leblanc or possibly Dona as Carlotta, Rikku as Meg, and Lulu as (a considerably younger) Mme. Giry. And Braska as Christine's dead father, of course. :)<br /><br />That shot of Yuna's billowing veil is one of my favorites that I've ever gotten.<br /><br />I wish we got to know more about Lulu and Rikku's relationship too! Part of the problem of having the entire story limited to Waffles's point of view is that we only see what he sees, so we don't see many character interactions that don't involve him. There are hints at other characters' relationships developing over time, but we don't get to see them clearly.Mintywolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03450557499971082731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532666560771740367.post-30869528064018252822014-09-16T22:07:12.096-04:002014-09-16T22:07:12.096-04:00Oh gosh I really really really super love your Pha...Oh gosh I really really really super love your Phantom of the Opera parallels. I never really thought about it before, but how perfect. <br /><br />I think it's interesting that Erik does experience the redemption-through-love arc while being totally shunned by society and presumably having nobody who really cared about him prior to people like Christine/The Persian/etc showing up in his life<br /><br />whereas Seymour had a mother who loved him and a father who maybe loved him in a sort of misguided way, and he grew up to be a respected member of society who is held in great esteem by the general public, and he ends up twisting those concepts of love and respect into really dark, terrible things. <br /><br />It's a neat perspective on Seymour's storyline. I dig it. <br /><br />Also, of course, Waffles-as-Raoul. Oh gosh. <i>Oh gosh.</i> Beautiful.<br /><br />(I never knew I needed this to be some kind of AU crossover fic, but wow. Do I ever.)<br /><br />The wedding scene really is breathtaking. That scene of her veil billowing in the wind is amazing. And that look between Rikku and Lulu says so much about both of them, and the way those two relate to one another...I really wish that relationship had been explored a little more in the game, but I do like the little subtle moments like this one. <br /><br />Ugh, Bevelle's cloister of trials. Ugh. All of the ugh. sauropodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04195380492425111103noreply@blogger.com
